Lonnie Knows Everything

I haven’t posted in a long time and for that I apologize but I’ve been a busy nerd, what with music and a day job.

The passing of Steve Jobs however is a momentous occasion because he is a legend, whether you’re a fan of Apple not.

I am the owner of two computers running snow leopard, I own two ios devices ( an original iphone and a 4th generation ipod ) but I am at heart a unix hacker .. I have disagreed completely with many of the policies apple has taken when it comes to development, and in general.. how they do business..

It is Jobs’ perfectionist way that has lead Apple to their success, his desire for perfection and uniformity and his uncompromising attitude.. has it been bad? I think in some ways it has.. but it has lead to what we have now, it has forced his employees to deliver a top notch user experience, the hardware to be sexy and sleek, and the competitors to clammer.. in otherwords, it has pushed competitiveness.. which is precisely what drove us where we are now.. whether you love or hate apple, they set bars that others were forced to try to reach .. and today we lost a driving force behind that, so lets hope we have another Jobs in our generation..

The first real promo is available from this episode, and yes I’m that bald dude with yellow glasses.. Enjoy! The show airs July 17th on National Geographic, and if my sources are correct, July 16th on Fox .. but I’m merely a participant in the show, I don’t know all of the fine details about when to see it =).. I don’t even get a copy until it airs so I’ve not seen more of it than this:

Just an update to an earlier post.

The documentary with Brennan and I will air on July 17th on National Geographic but as I understand it will also air July 16th as part of a 2 hour special on FOX. ( Saturday on FOX and Sunday on National Geographic )

The episode is aptly titled “The Flying Car”

The accident I was involved in back in August 2010 is now the subject of a mini-documentary due to be on National Geographic. I didn’t post about this earlier because I wasn’t really allowed to but given that NG is marketing the series now I think it’s safe to speak.

A crew filmed me for an interview about the accident and we did a re-enactment of the events.. the crew was amazing, and I had a great time doing it.. I think it’s a compelling story,  which goes without saying so I’m excited to see the results.

Look for Indestructibles on National Geographic starting on July 10th! the episode I’m involved in will be later in the month, but the entire series looks great .. so check it out!

As of today I’ve decided to set Oneduality free! that means that all of my music will begin showing up on my official site ( http://www.oneduality.com ) as free downloadable files.

Presently there are two full length albums posted but over the next coming days the full catalog will be available. You can also find four sample tracks from my upcoming album “Eleven”.

There’s NO CATCH to this, all files are provided as 320kpbs MP3s… The only rules are that you can’t re-use my music and that you can’t re-sell it.. you can share it all you want as long as you share the original zip file in tact.

ENJOY!
